Get ready for food, family, and holiday fun!

Carolina Culture Food Fest: Home for the Holidays Edition is coming to Charlotte on November 28, 2026, from 12–6 PM, bringing the flavors and culture of the Carolinas together for a celebration for all ages.

Make a day of it with family and friends as you explore food trucks, discover local businesses, shop for holiday gifts, and enjoy activities throughout the festival.

Here’s what’s in store:

• Food trucks, desserts, and beverages to satisfy your cravings
• Holiday shopping featuring small businesses, artisans, and young entrepreneurs
• People’s Choice Food Awards, where festival vendors showcase their best bites and receive live ratings from food critics
• Kids cooking classes, inflatables, and family activities to keep little ones engaged
• A car show featuring standout rides
• Line dancing and community connections to bring everyone together

Giving back is part of the celebration, too, with our youth meal initiative supporting children in the community. Whether you’re coming for the food, shopping, cars, or time with loved ones, come ready to eat, explore, and make holiday memories.

Gather your crew and join us where we bring food, family and fun together!
